Love Quest Day 1

To love without condition is
surrender.It is ultimate truth.There is nothing that stands in the way of
this love; nothing to hide, to protest, to blame, to judge, to avoid.There is nothing to risk.

This is not to say that it
feels this way, for it does not.On your
way to Agape you’ll want to hide.You
may perceive hiding as the safest route to take.Once taken, you’ll realize something; you are
not in Agape, you are merely alone.Although love begins within, this is a physical existence.It is meant to be lived out loud, with all of
us.

In 2011 these Quests were
begun as a path to discover self love and self forgiveness.After 2 years of monthly journeys, we reached
a point of understanding.Intellectually
we comprehended our own worth.

Yet today, 1 ½ years later,
do we experience everyday Agape?What
does that look like anyway?It is there
I’d like to take us.

We have all chosen
beautifully. Our life is made up of mirrors. We are surrounded by each other;
gauges for the degree of love which is present.Look around.If someone enrages
you internally, you’ve seen your own self-loathing.

This is how it works.As long as there exists in your heart any
reason to hate or to be annoyed or to be afraid or to judge or to blame – you
do not love.We are all lovable.How is this true?It is true because we are One.

Unity is the answer for
every conundrum.Recently I experienced
physical evidence for this.An accident
left me physically, but temporarily, sort of deformed facially.It’s been 3 weeks and part of my face is
still black and blue, while there is a lump protruding from my forehead.Only now do people not look away from my face
in public.Three weeks ago this was not
the case.

The thing is, I have not
changed on the inside.I AM me.I feel whole and attractive and strong and
love and the same.In the eyes of almost
everyone I’ve met, I am not.I have not
been offended by their discomfort and avoidance, just curious.After many repeated and uncomfortable
encounters it became perfectly clear who we are.

We are self defined.

The awkward feelings and
silent judgments of each stranger I encountered say nothing about who I am –
but volumes about who they are.How we
react and feel about what and who we encounter outside of our bathroom mirror
is a clear image of who we are; clearer than any piece of glass can
provide.I was a problem for everyone
but me these last few weeks.

I am not diminished by their
judgment, while they suffer.I know I am
more than these lumps and bruises.I am
a piece of eternity; whole and beautiful; as
are you.

You are a Master; only
Masters can incarnate as human.You have
come here to challenge yourself, to see yourself with lumps and bruises and to
remember who you are.

Love is not perfectly
dressed, photo-shopped, planned, or performed.It is sometimes lumpy and may leave ugliness on the outside.Love doesn’t show on the outside.On the outside is “window dressing”, which is
fun and part of being human but not the point of this Quest.This Quest is about finding what’s beautiful
on the inside.That’s where you are.

Remember.Remember who you are – a bit of Source who
showed up on planet Earth to show us how it’s done.
